If you just get a 5670 or a 5770, you'll be running SC2 maxed out with an FPS of 50 or more.

SC2 is heavely cpu dependend, but really his integrated graphics is bottlenecking him not the cpu. @ the op see if you can find an used 5770, they sell pretty cheap.
@doritos just do the test yourself and connect your monitor to your onboard graphics, have fun running SC2

He needs a graphics card.
'nuff said.
Even though SC2 is partial to CPU speed, his integrated is absolute crap.
Seriously you can't even play CODMW2 decently unless it's at the absolute bare settings.
I know cause I used to have to exact same one

Okay, so I ended up buying a low profiled Radeon HD5570, 1GB to upgrade from my NVIDIA Geforce 6150SE. O M G the performance now, is outstanding!
I can now run SC2 in ultra w/ a steady 35-40 FPS!!! and lower settings like high and medium w/ 80-100fps.

Before, with my old GFX. I could barely manage 15-20 fps on 680x400 running in windows 98 mode on lowest settings. Thank you guys so much, the GFX improvement was huge !
